Free Food Snacks: Greek Strawberries

Greek Strawberries

Skip chocolate-dipped strawberries and pair the fruit with fat-free plain Greek yogurt instead. Three strawberries swirled in a tablespoon of fat-free plain Greek yogurt will cost you a total of 20 calories and 4 grams of carb (a typical single chocolate-dipped strawberry has 50-75 calories).
Taste treat: Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier (even the fat-free varieties) than regular yogurt, thanks to a straining process that removes the liquid whey from the yogurt. It pairs perfectly with any fresh or frozen fruit.
Tip: Greek yogurt can stand in for high-fat and less nutritious condiments such as sour cream, mayonnaise, and whipped cream. Try a dollop of fat-free plain Greek yogurt on tomato soup, a baked potato, a soft-shell chicken taco, or a special dessert.
Did you know: Greek yogurt has twice the amount of hunger-satisfying protein per serving than regular yogurt. Greek yogurt is also a super source of good bacteria (probiotics) to support digestive health.
